Crossplay for sports?

[skornzbolt23]

Call me crazy, but i seen crossplay is coming to "helldivers" which is for ps4, ps3, and ps vita.

Now cross play makes sense to previous generation consoles, like ps3 to ps4. But what makes more sense, is crossplay across current gen consoles.

I'm strictly an nba 2k fan, but i can see this being useful across all sports, or mmorpg's like diablo 3.

Imagine THAT type of bragging right. Console wars via specific games. Granted, nba 2k association needs a revamp, as does the actual online servers (i vaguely remember dreamcast via dialup handled only SLIGHTLY worse than now). But crossplay is the next step in gaming.

here's a good example of crossplay. http://www.joystiq.com/2013/08/21/he...th-cross-play/

They are working on it for mainly shooters and rpg's i think, but sports would also benefit.

Not only does it allow a wider range of talent to face, but also a universal system of cooperation.

Imagine that, a world with less "fan boy" wars. (one can dream.)

"Inter-Console" play will never happen. Microsoft is so paranoid about Live that they'll never allow it.

Well, PSN+/XBLGold requires you to pay for online, I could imagine them actually adding a fee for cross-platform playing. I mean, depends on the new Microsoft CEO. Cause I know Sony was fine with cross platform online the last time I checked.

That would be amazing. I personally would love that. But I honestly doesn't think that's going to happen.

Even if it's just from ps3 to ps4, and even vita. That would be amazing. The reason why i think they wont do it consistently, is it gives less incentive for people to upgrade to ps4.
